Angelina Pivarnick is a reality television personality who is best known for starring in the first two seasons of the MTV show Jersey Shore and its spin-off, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. She also appeared on the VH1 show Couples Therapy and released some songs as a singer. But what happened to her after she left the show? How is her personal life and career going? In this article, we will explore some of the recent events and updates on Angelina and her fellow cast members.
Angelina Pivarnick’s Relationship with Her Biological Father
One of the most shocking and emotional moments for Angelina was when she met her biological father for the first time on the season premiere of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in February 2024. She had never known who her real father was until she did a DNA test and found out that he was a man named Alfred William, who lived in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
The reality star finally met her father at a restaurant in Freehold, where she also met her paternal grandmother, aunt, and half-sister, who looked just like her. Angelina was nervous and excited to see her long-lost family, but the meeting did not go well. Her father seemed more interested in her Rolex watch and her money than in getting to know her. He also asked her if he could walk her down the aisle at her next wedding, which made her uncomfortable. Angelina felt disappointed and hurt by her father’s behavior, and wondered if he really cared about her or just wanted to use her fame.
Changes for Angelina in Season 7 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation
The seventh season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation brought many changes for Angelina, both good and bad. On the positive side, she became a full-time cast member and got closer to some of her co-stars, especially Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, who had been adopted as well and bonded with Angelina over their shared experience. Angelina also had fun with the rest of the gang, going on trips, parties, and pranks.
However, everything changed for Angelina when she faced a make-or-break moment for her relationships. She had been married to Chris Larangeira since 2019, but their marriage was rocky and they often fought. Angelina also had a history of cheating on Chris with her ex-boyfriend, Vinny Tortorella, who was also a cast member of Jersey Shore. Vinny had proposed to Angelina in 2023, but she turned him down and stayed with Chris. However, she still had feelings for Vinny and was confused about who she really loved.
In the season finale, Angelina had to make a decision: stay with Chris and try to fix their marriage, or leave him and give Vinny another chance. She chose the latter, and broke up with Chris in a dramatic scene. She then ran to Vinny and accepted his proposal, leaving Chris heartbroken and angry. The other cast members were shocked and divided by Angelina’s choice, and some of them felt betrayed by her. The episode ended with a cliffhanger, leaving the viewers wondering what would happen next.
Angelina’s Past Relationships and Marriages
Angelina has had a turbulent love life, with many ups and downs. She has been married twice and engaged three times. Her first marriage was to Chris Larangeira, a sanitation worker whom she met in 2017. They got engaged in 2018 and married in 2019, in a lavish ceremony that was aired on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. However, their marriage was plagued by problems, such as lack of trust, communication, and intimacy. They also argued a lot and accused each other of cheating. They separated in 2021 and divorced in 2022.
Her second marriage was to Vinny Tortorella, a DJ and reality star who was also her co-star on Jersey Shore. They had a complicated relationship, starting from a one-night stand in the first season of the show. They then had an on-and-off affair, even when Angelina was with Chris. Vinny proposed to Angelina in 2023, but she rejected him. However, she changed her mind in 2024, and left Chris for Vinny. They got married in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas, but their marriage was not recognized by the law, as Angelina had not finalized her divorce from Chris. They are currently living together and planning to have a legal wedding soon.
